It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such  As see not the First Cause entire: and ye, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12629]]></link><description><![CDATA[O how far remov'd, Predestination! is thy foot from such  As see not the First Cause entire: and ye,   O mortal men! be wary how ye judge:    For we, who see the Maker, know not yet     The number of the chosen; and esteem      Such scantiness of knowledge our delight:       For all good is, in that primal good,        Concentrate; and God's will and ours are one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to enjoy myself, but rest assured that I can be as serious as anyone else can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65823]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to enjoy myself, but rest assured that I can be as serious as anyone else can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy... is to set our own conditions to the events ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10044]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy... is to set our own conditions to the events of each day.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who stops being better stops being good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2282]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who stops being better stops being good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise boldly pick up a truth as soon as they hear it.

I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?
